<p>I was in Ushuaia with a group 15 years ago for birdwatching, probably stayed at the same hotel. We were under strict instructions not to speak to anyone except hotel staff. And definitely not to mention the war, not even once to see if I could get away with it. Desolate place, their only purpose there seems to be to run the naval base - where the Belgrano sailed from.</p>
<p>Anyway, one day I was in the hotel lift with the group, tired and going up to our rooms. The doors opened, and some Argentinians wanted to go down to the lobby. Not speaking very good Spanish, I indicated we were going up, and the doors closed. In hindsight, as I explained to the group with tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks, this was not the best communication.</p>
<p>From their point of view, the doors opened, an Englishman loudly said "xxxx up", stuck a finger up at them &amp; the doors slammed closed.</p>
<p>We were very nervous in the restaurant that evening.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:11:12 +0000pinxit167636@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>The three islanders who voted for Argentine rule of The Falklands in yesterday's referendum have been tracked down and unmasked.</p>
<p>From the haven of Port Stanley prison they have given very different reasons for their choice.</p>
<p>Bachelor farmer Des Barnes, 49, was hoping for a fresh intake of "dusky hot-blooded latino maidens" on the island, as "my chances of meeting a decent bit of scrannet over here is zero and I'm getting bloody frustrated. Besides, my ewes are getting pretty bolshy nowadays."</p>
<p>Portly civil servant Charles Champion, 58, an avid gourmet, said he made his decision because he's "fed up of a diet of horse and mutton," and hankers to eat "real top-quality prime Argentinian beef."</p>
<p>The third dissenter, Darren Larrikin 19, said 'I was pissed when I voted and did it for a laugh."</p>
<p>All three are expected to remain in detention, for their own safety, for at least ten years.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 09:39:42 +0000Oxbridge156241@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Argentinian president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has categorically refused to negotiate over the sovereignty of the Isle of Wight, despite the provocative behaviour of Britan's right-wing Coalitionista dictatorship, which recently put a full-page ad in El Diario de Buenos Aires asserting its claims to the barren island. </p>
<p>Diplomats say this is the tensest stand-off since the two countries fought a brief war 30 years ago, which Argentina won on the Duckworth-Lewis method. La Isla Blanca, as it is known there, is a vital link in the South American nation's two-way trade with Europe in corned beef, polo ponies and ageing Nazis.</p>
<p>'General Cameron is cynically trying to raise nationalistic fervour over this issue, because they are no longer able to distract the downtrodden British people since the X-Factor ended,' warned a UN-appointed mediator. 'However, Argentina's recent posting of its native-born singer Chris De Burgh to the island has also provoked justified anger in Britain.'</p>
<p>In the recent ad, Britain denounced Argentina's 200-year possession of the Isle of Wight as a legacy of colonialism that should be corrected. Geographically, it claims, the Isle is part of Britain and could be reached in less than two hours from the abandoned port city of Southampton, in the unlikely event that anyone wanted to go there. </p>
<p>The Isle of Wight is rumoured to have huge untapped reserves of clotted cream and, with heavy investment, it could rapidly be brought into the 1960s. Britain's ight-wing tabloids have urged the Coalitionistas to invade, scoffing at the very idea that a country on the other side of the world and led by a woman would fight back. Fernandez, however, dismisses this as reflecting the latent inadequacy of men in a country that has Katie Price as its icon of feminitity.</p>
<p>'The future of the Isle of Wight is for the inhabitants alone to decide,' said President Fernandez. 'And, with no economic activity to speak of, constant harking back to an idealised but short-lived past and their prejudice against incomers despite being mostly immigrants themselves, they are clearly Argentine in every respect. We will use force if we must to save these poor people from the tinpot British regime, which should hopefully fall from power soon anyway.' </p>

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 08:12:52 +0000Squudge154881@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Ok - here is another go without 'cut and paste', but the facts sort of need to go in as a framework.</p>
<p>-------------------------------------version 2--------------------------</p>
<p>Despite mounting anger from Argentina, after a part of Antartica was named after the Queen this week, it has been reported that the Falklands are to be renamed the "Nyah nyah ne-nyah nyah Islands".</p>
<p>The UK ambassador to Argentina was summoned yesterday to explain to officials in Buenos Aires why part of Antarctica has been renamed 'Queen Elizabeth Land'. He was handed a formal protest note "strongly rejecting" the UK's claim to the land and thus the right to rename it.</p>
<p>The UK ambassador denies blowing a raspberry and making the surprise announcement re the Falkands/Malvinas renaming in a provocatively plummy British accent.</p>
<p>East Antarctica already has 'Princess Elizabeth Land', so named before the Queen took the throne, and a mountain range in the Antarctic peninsula named the Princess Royal Range in 2006 in tribute to the Queen's daughter. The Foreign Office has denied that it had anything to do with her 'splendid rack'.</p>
<p>A palace official has since revealed that the Queen has asked William Hague to consider redesignating South Georgia as 'Prince Harry Redoubt' if he doesn't mend his ways quite soon.</p>
<p>Media requests to view the Palace globe, which is thought to comprise 'mainly pink bits', have been politely declined by the Queen's equerry today. When asked he denied that HRH Prince Phillip had requested that Argentina be renamed 'Loserville', stating "That would be insensitive".

<p>The UK ambassador to Argentina was summoned yesterday, to explain to officials in Buenos Aires why part of Antarctica has been renamed in honour of the Queen. He was handed a formal protest note "strongly rejecting" the UK's claim to a piece of land known as the British Antarctic Territory.</p>
<p>The southern section was named Queen Elizabeth Land by Foreign Secretary William Hague on Tuesday. The note claimed the area was part of the Argentine Antarctic sector. It stated that the Argentine government "strongly rejected" Britain's right to rename the area.</p>
<p>The UK ambassador denies blowing a raspberry and announcing the suprise news re the Falkands/Malvinas renaming, in a provocatively plummy British accent.</p>
<p>The Foreign Office said on Tuesday there was a precedent for naming parts of the Antartcic continent after members of the British royal family. East Antarctica is home to Princess Elizabeth Land, named after the Queen before she took the throne, and in 2006 an unnamed mountain range in the Antarctic peninsula was named the Princess Royal Range in tribute to the Queen's daughter.

</p>HIGNFY on "Argentina Steal Falkalnd Islands"http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45905#post-132047
Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:11:41 +0000HIGNFY132047@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>The British Government is holding emergency talks with Argentina after the Argentine navy stole the Falkland Islands and moved it to within just 1 mile of the Argentine mainland.</p>
<p>The daring raid took place late last night under the cover of darkness and involved over 200 tugs and 2000 miles of rope.</p>
<p>Despite earlier reports no casualties were incurred on the Island though several buildings were damaged and crockery smashed as the earth literally moved.</p>
<p>One Islander reported that several snow globes, part of his vast collection, perished during the theft and one man claimed several pictures hanging on his bathroom wall fell crashing to the ground; but luckily no damage was done and he returned them to their original positions once the Island reached its new geographical location. </p>
<p>Crowds in Buenos Aires welcomed the news with many Argentines screaming like baboons, setting fire to Union Flags and eating candy floss.</p>
<p>Simply Red singer, Mick Hucknall, in Buenos Aires for a series of concerts, was pelted with soft fruit including dates and prunes as he returned to his hotel and has suspended his tour of South America.</p>
<p>It is understood that a flotilla consisting of over 300 tugs, crewed by Cockneys and Scousers is being readied as Britain prepares to steal back the Island and tow it back to its original position.</p>
<p>As yet no Argentine has set foot on the Island however it is understood that Argentina is now claiming full sovereignty of the Falkland's and that plans are afoot to construct a bridge linking the islands to the Argentinian mainland.

Tue, 08 May 2012 09:46:37 +0000Oxbridge121698@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>As sabre-rattling from Britian's right-wing Coalitionista dictatorship raises fears of renewed conflict, Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has refused to negotiate away the sovereignty of the Isle of Wight. The two countries fought a brief war over the windswept island 30 years ago, which Argentina won on the Duckworth-Lewis method. Passions have been simmering ever since.</p>
<p>'In times of economic hardship, General Cameron and the Coalitianistas are playing the nationalism card because they are no longer able to distract the British people with success on the football pitch or even high quality entertainment ever since Strictly Come Dancing ended,' warned the Spanish president Jose Maria Aznar, who has tried to broker a peace deal. </p>
<p>'Their leading tabloid the Daily Mail has even dismissed the idea that a country led by a woman would use force to defend its overseas territories and be a full-time working mum. To be honest, though, I think views like this mostly reflect the latent inadequacies of the men in a country that has Katie Price as its icon of feminitity.'</p>
<p>Britain has repeatedly denounced Argentina's 200-year possession of the Isle of Wight as a legacy of colonialism. Geographically, it claims, the Isle is part of Britain and could be reached in less than two hours by sea from the abandoned port city of Southampton, in the unlikely event that any British people wanted to go there. </p>
<p>Cynics argue that Britain's true motivation is the Isle of Wight's largely untapped reserves of clotted cream and crabmeat. Some economic analysts believe that, with a few decades of intensive investment, the underpopulated Isle could rapidly be brought into the 1950s. For Fernandez, however, the issue is simply about respecting the wishes of the few thousand inhabitants.</p>
<p>'The people of the Isle of Wight are Argentine in every respect,' she said. 'No economic activity to speak of: Argentine. Constant harking back to an idealised but short-lived past: Argentine. Mildly prejudiced against incomers despite being mostly immigrants themselves: Argentine. We will use all the power at our disposal to save these people from this tinpot regime. And Katie Price. Eeew.'

<p>They have until midnight to make their mind up.</p>
<p>The decision is simple, said a spokeperson for the Spanish Government, it shouldn’t take them too long to weigh up the consequences – we have suggested they adopt Esperanto or Latin as neither are in use and immediately available.
